Biggest London Show in UKF History to Feature Pendulum, Knife Party, Nero, Flux Pavilion, More at Drumsheds

The past, present and future of bass music are set to collide in UKF‘s monumental London showcase, a night the beloved brand is calling “one for the history books.”

Featuring a lineup of artists who have shaped the genre over the years, the show, UKF says, is the biggest they’ve ever hosted in the city. It’s scheduled for December 13th at London’s famed Drumsheds venue.

The lineup reads like a bass music bible, each act a chapter in the genre’s evolution. Headlining the event are Pendulum and Knife Party, both projects involving Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen, revered for their impact on drum & bass and electro. Joining them are Nero, whose cinematic dubstep deeply influenced the genre’s global growth, and Circus Records co-founder Flux Pavilion, a key figure in the 2010s dubstep scene.

The lineup also includes celebrated “Purple City” producer Joker as well as the iconic duo of Caspa and Rusko, pioneers credited with popularizing dubstep in its early days. Fusing wobbly basslines with grime’s urban grit, their collaborative 2007 album FabricLive.37 remains deeply influential, bridging the genre’s underground spirit with the mainstream and inspiring a generation of producers in its wake.

Representing that generation at Drumsheds are 33 Below, MPH, The Caracal Project and EDM.com Class of 2023 star IMANU, among other stars of tomorrow, rounding out a lineup shimmering with as much novelty as it does nostalgia. At the time of this writing, UKF has only released the lineup’s first phase, which you can check out below. More artists will be revealed in the weeks ahead.

A pre-sale is scheduled to begin September 4th at 11AM local time before the event’s general ticket release the following day at the same time. You can register for early access here.
